In Gushan Fucheng, among the many houses in the Donglan River area, there is an additional family.
The neighbors all know that the owner of this household is named Meng and he is quite friendly to others.
"Squeak."
The door of the house opened, and the old servant Lian respectfully said: "Madam."
Liu Qiyue was carrying a basket Zazao nodded with a smile and walked inside. The house was not big, and Meng Chuan and his wife only hired two servants. One was an old man in his fifties who had served in the battlefield and had his vitality wasted. His body was still strong. He was considered tough and was hired by Meng Chuan to look after the door and clean. The other is a middle-aged woman who is responsible for washing and cooking. Two servants are enough to take care of all matters.
This kind of ordinary house usually only has a few servants. Some people from poor families do not hire servants and take care of the housework themselves.
"Achuan, Achuan." Liu Qiyue came to the study and opened the study door. She could see Meng Chuan painting seriously.
Liu Qiyue said nothing, but stood aside and watched.
This is a long scroll painting. Now it is only the far right side of the painting. Liu Qiyue can see at a glance that it is painted at Beihe Pass. The gods and demons led a large number of soldiers to guard the city gate to resist the invasion of the demon clan. scene.
"The painting is really good." Liu Qiyue was a little shocked. The scene of the severely injured soldiers in the outer city closing the gates and killing the monsters ferociously seemed to be reappearing in front of his eyes.
Liu Qiyue experienced the Beihe Pass to resist the invasion of monsters. Every time a large number of soldiers died in battle, a large number of soldiers became disabled... Meng Chuan only painted a few of them, but he made the tragic Draw it out.
It can be seen that Meng Chuan painted very carefully. The appearance and eyes of a soldier were carefully painted every stroke, and he was very patient. It is estimated that it would take half an hour to paint this important soldier.
"Are you back?" Meng Chuan stopped writing with a smile.
"No more painting?" Liu Qiyue said in surprise, "It's not finished yet."
"It's early." Meng Chuan said with a smile, "This scroll of painting, I'm afraid it will take a month or two to finish, so don't rush."
"Why did you suddenly start painting Beiheguan?" Liu Qiyue asked curiously, "I haven't seen you paint so seriously in the past few years. ."
Meng Chuan was a little emotional.
In the three years since I came down from the mountain, I have been fighting against the demon clan almost all the time.
"I have experienced a lot in the past three years since I came down the mountain. There are some things I just want to draw." Meng Chuan said something, and then asked with a smile, "You went out to visit Gushan Fucheng. How do you feel?"
"Gushan Fucheng is very similar to our Dongning Fucheng. They are both from our Wuzhou city. The customs and climate are similar. At first glance, I thought they were in Dongning Fucheng." Liu Qi. Yue said.
Meng Chuan nodded: "This place is only six hundred miles away from Dongning. We can go back very quickly if we want to."
With his speed, we can indeed go back very quickly. .
Liu Qiyue continued: "I walked around the city today, and now everyone in the city is talking about military service. Mass recruitment is now underway."
"Yes."
Meng Chuan nodded, "It is much safer to serve in the military today than in the past, and the time is shortened to three years. But there are many more people serving in the military."
" Yes, everyone between the ages of twenty and twenty-five is required to serve in the military." Liu Qiyue said, "Regardless of their strength, everyone will serve in the military."
"I remember there are some exceptions." Meng Chuan said.
"Those who are the only children in the family can postpone their military service to a certain year in the next five years." Liu Qiyue said, "Those who are married and have children can also postpone their military service to a certain year in the next five years." One year of military service. There are also cases of exemption from military service, but they are relatively special. The only advantage is that military service is not as harsh as it used to be, and it is also done within the borders of the province. "
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
People from Gushan Mansion serve in the military in Gushan Mansion. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the mountain set the rules and the purpose for ordinary people to serve in the military was to form a huge patrol network! Any demon clan that appears must be discovered as soon as possible.
So locals naturally have an advantage.
Those who serve in the military also have holidays every year and can often visit home.
"Now in the world, all small and medium-sized city gates have been abandoned, and monsters are coming in continuously. We are peaceful in Gushan Mansion, but many other places in the world are fighting." Meng Chuan said softly, "God When the demons fight, they need to find the demon king first. The mortal world is the eyes of our gods and demons."
"Well, there are birds watching from high at the entrance to the city gate world. As soon as the demons come in, They will be discovered and powerful gods and demons will be quickly dispatched to pursue them." Liu Qiyue said, "This level of interception is happening all the time."
"Those. The surviving demon king is lurking in various places, and he is afraid that he will attack many cities." Meng Chuan said with a frown.
......
The days in Gushan Mansion were very peaceful, and there was no demon king coming to cause trouble. The matter of military service was completely settled within a month, and Gushan Mansion was restored. past operations.
After all, only young people between the ages of twenty and twenty-five are serving in the military, and the entire city can still maintain its former prosperity.
In the blink of an eye, we have entered a new year.
More than two hundred miles away from Gushan Fucheng, in an underground palace.
“Come and drink.”
“Good wine, good wine.”
“Everyone, please try this delicious food. They are all the humans I captured. Although these humans are weak, the food they can make is very exquisite, much better than the rough food of our demon clan." The white fox demon king sitting on the main seat said with a smile, and the demon kings were quite satisfied. Clever. After all, this White Fox Demon King is a descendant of the Demon Saint and has a distinguished status.
A wolf demon king grabbed the pieces of roasted meat and ate it. They all shook their heads and praised: "It's delicious. The pieces of meat are cut into slices and roasted, and they use so many seasonings. In our demon world, Why can't it happen over there?"
"Those things?The little demon is so clumsy that he can't do this. ”
“The clothing and architecture of the human race are very exquisite. "
These demon kings are extremely intelligent and already know how to appreciate these exquisite things.
After eating most of the food, the white fox demon king finally started to talk about business: "Everyone, enter the human world. , it is not easy to gather here alive. "
"Yes yes yes. ”
“It’s really not easy! "
"The human race said they were abandoning small and medium-sized city gates, but in fact they were watching secretly. They would quickly hunt down the demon kings who broke in. Only half of our group survived if we all escaped separately. "
"I came in from the territory of the Dai Viet Dynasty on the Two Boundary Islands. The blockade of the Dai Viet Dynasty is weaker. Their world has more entrances and fewer powerful gods and demons. After entering a jungle, I drove thousands of miles north and entered the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. "
" This is no longer possible. In the past half month, the twenty-nine medium-sized city gates on the two boundary islands on the mainland have been transferred to Yuanchu Mountain and Heishadongtian. The intensity of the blockade increased significantly. In the demon world, they can only send demon kings in from various entrances in the world. "
These demon kings were talking.
The white fox demon king smiled, his eyes glowing red: "When I came in, I wanted to make a contribution! Now the demon world has given an order, ordering all of us demon kings to spread out and attack the human race everywhere! All demon kings act alone. "
The demon kings present listened carefully.
"Our team is responsible for attacking Gu Shan Mansion. "The White Fox Demon King said, "All demon kings act alone, and the villages, forts, and county towns are all at your disposal. Those who are brave can also attack Fucheng! I must say that in front, there will be powerful gods and demons guarding Fucheng. The county town and village Wubao are safer. "
"If you can find out the details of the human race, you will have merit. If you can kill gods and demons, the credit will be even greater. "The White Fox Demon King said.
"I will go to Changgu County in Gushan Mansion to try. "
"I'm going to "Guchou County" in Gushan Prefecture. "
The demon kings said one by one.
Some even said: "You all go to the county seat, and I will attack the Wubao village to see if any gods and demons will stop me. "
"I'm going to attack Gushanfu City! "An eight-armed demon king said with a smile while drinking wine, immediately making other demon kings look over one by one.
